The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee outraised its GOP counterpart nearly 2-to-1 last month, marking the second month in a row it has brought in significantly more cash than the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

According to figures provided by the committees, the DSCC raised $4.3 million in February and had $5.1 million in cash on hand at the end of the month. The NRSC raised $2.2 million and had $3.1 million in the bank on Feb. 28.

But the best part is that Paul Ryan's new, old, new again, old again, new yet again, old yet again budget gave the DSCC a big boost:

In the last days of the 2012 campaign, the National Republican Senatorial Committee sent $760,000 to the Missouri Republican Party, which appears to have used the money to run TV ads for Rep. Todd Akin’s ill-fated Senate campaign.

They waited until the last minute to transfer the money, which they did on the first two days of November, so nobody could be sure where it came from until after the election.

Democrats would have had a field day with this, had they known it was from the NRSC. But they know now:

Democrats were quick to pounce on the news [...]

“It is not only wrong that the NRSC would provide funds to support a dangerous extremist like Todd Akin; it was underhanded and dishonestthat they would purposely mislead the public about their actions,” said Matt Canter, a spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Another example of the unsurprising lack of judgment that the GOP so frequently demonstrates, especially considering the poll numbers, which showed McCaskill well ahead.

Another example of unsurprising GOP secrecy.

And it's also another example of the unsurprising tone deafness that ultimately lost them the election.

(CNN) – Polls and pundits may have Republicans winning Senate seats in the November elections, but it's Democrats who are the recent money winners - the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) raised $27 million in the last three months, according to a statement released Friday.

Over $15 million of that total was raised in September, a figure that trumps the $8.3 million the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) raised in the same month, according to their statement.

"Democrats are increasingly unified and motivated in the final stretch of the midterm elections," J.B. Poersch, Executive Director of the DSCC said in the statement. "As Republicans nominate extremists who want to return to the failed Bush economic policies of the past, Democrats are ready to fight."

We have $25.6 million in the bank, the NRSC has $19.2 million.

As for that "ready to fight" thing, I know I am, but the way the Dems are being portrayed in the media, you'd never know they were.
